Heya, just had to post here and say how much I approve and enjoyed watching the tutorials, they helped me get into the game a lot at the start, and while I quickly moved past the learning curve, I'm still hoping you can get me to use windmills and water wheels I've been avoiding
Either way, these are great, and I'm so checking out that final fantasy LP thing.
Some tips:
On FPS, I'm constantly having trouble with fps problems in df, one of the biggest things that seems to make it work for me is turning off weather and temperature. Not sure if you have these on, but that would be the first suggestion to help. [ open the init file in notepad, change the settings for temp and weather to NO ]
Also, as to what to do after the tutorial, or a lp for dwarf fortress. Please do check out the community forums here. There are a lot of story and group fortresses along those lines that I think could make for a great cptduck production. Taking a fortress and naming in dwarfs for video updates I think would be awesome. You can use the link at the bottom of this post to go to my own community fort(not the best mind you, there are greater ones out there), and from there to the other threads.
Either way, Keep up the great work Captain.
I'll look forward to whatever updates I find.
ps: this thread should oh so be stickyfied if any forum mods are reading.
